I got these because I have some really noisy neighbors in my apartment building and while working from home it was really hard for me to concentrate. I tried other earbuds with little success. I had heard good things about this brand, so I figured I'd give these a shot. I was blown away by how effective they are! You wouldn't even know my neighbors were there. Super comfortable, too. The foam is totally the way to go. Highly recommended! A++++

I used these at work. Cut a small hole in the liner of my pocket and ran it under my shirt. Nobody could tell and helped me to enjoy my job more. Why jobs don't want you to enjoy your work makes no since to me. Especially since these are more noise cancelling than the earplugs they supply you with.

These are great for my workplace. The silicone tips are changeable and washable, fit even my small ear canals with reasonable comfort, and look like standard issue ear plugs. I don't have a particularly aggressive work routine, and mine are still like new even after hours of wear and tear. I drop the cord down my shirt in the back and tuck it around my side, plugged into a Bluetooth receiver (Jumbl) and that's hidden under my clothes. The sound quality is not as good as some higher end earbuds or even my Bluetooth ear muffs, but they beat the sound of my own thoughts in my head and the dull hisses and noises of machinery. I will say that the bass is pretty good for those who like that. I listen largely to documentaries and some of the more quiet speech occasionally gets lost, but I don't think that's any fault of the ear plugs. My only real complaint is the jack is not reinforced/angled like on the purple 1.0 style. I just know I am going to rip the wiring asunder eventually. I'd also personally like to see 'small' size foam or better yet silicone tips for us with tiny ear canals. Standards fit well enough for me, but others might not be so lucky.

These earplugs do a great job blocking noise. I can run power tools or do some hammering and know that my hearing is protected. They also come with 2 pairs of earplugs, so you can wear one pair while charging the other. The sound quality is not great - music is audible but sounds muffled. But then, you’re not buying these for studio sound quality, are you?

I'm to lazy but it's good

These are great

Sound quality isn't the best for $50 earbud but you know why you want to buy these. I talked to my manager with these on and he just assumed they where standard Earplugs. And That is the whole point of these, Honestly these make my 12 hour shift feel like 10 hours because of all the audio books I listen to. They last for about 10 hours but I also have an External Battery Pack it use to charge these some more over lunch to get me another 1.5 to 2 hours. TAKE GOOD CARE OF THESE, trust me. If you do long shifts or listen to machine noise all day long these are a blessing.

The best $50 ever spent. Works well to use at Amazon. Discreet as can be. Had direct encounters with managers and they didn’t say crap. Get the orange ones for most discreet.

I work in construction as a Pipefitter/Plumber. I work around Sheetrockers and Sheetmetal workers. It's so loud sometimes it makes me want wish I had an office job...*cringe*...then I remember these little beauties are hanging around my neck just waiting for me to put them to work too. Noise cancelling; check. Music; check. Calls; check. I've had several expensive string-type ear buds that have fallen off and gotten destroyed within days of me buying them...then I found these babies. Thank you Amazon for bringing these into my life!!!

I love these I can wear them at work and they work great. Battery lasts about 8-9 hours! Sound quality is great just bought my 2nd pair so I have a back up pair:)

these new plugfones are great. my first generation ones had plug problems after about two weeks. these are awesome..the only complaint is that I had to glue the ear bud part on as they kept falling off. And it would be awesome if they came with more than two sets of buds. working in the oil refining industry we see a lot of dirt, grime and chemicals get on our equipment, proper cleaning on a regular basis is necessary. but it would be nice to have a couple sets to swap out too when they get too dirty. but all in all, im very satisfied.

Working on a factory line as a Engineer sometimes I can be alone for hours examining and fixing things. These let me listen to Audiobooks and I am able to apply to our companys guidlines for hearing protection. The noise cancelation is amazing and I feel like its a normal set of ear plugs when i have them paused or off. I can go all day without having to charge and they charge up really quick.

I am required to wear earplugs at my workplace even though my particular area doesn't have much noise. These allow me to listen to podcasts/audiobooks when able to and not have to switch out earbuds for earplugs when needed. I keep the wire looped around my ponytail and covered with a head scarf so that it isn't obvious they are bluetooth and so far, no one has questioned me about them. They work just as well as standard earplugs for that purpose, keep me from getting a safety violation, and work good enough for what I would use earbuds for. They aren't the greatest for music though, especially if you like a lot of bass, but they're not the worst either.

Perfect for people who have to wear earplugs for work! They dont even notice i have earphones in.

These function and look like regular ear plugs. They handle high temperatures and lots of sweat (I work 12-hour shifts as a furnace attendant). I listen to audiobooks mostly and these are perfect. These have kept my ears protected and my mind fed for two months and show no signs of wear. Just be sure to keep them clean. Will buy again.

I work in a production environment and these work well for the floor. They work well for noise cancellation and I can still listen to my music. The cord length is long enough to tuck both the receiver and the control in the back of my shirt. Definitely would recommend.

For work

Dudes and Dudettes let me tell ya something. If you want some eat phone plugs that work great and sound phenomenal then these are just that. I love em. I have an Indian motorcycle with Loud pipes and don't even have to turn them all the way up. I prefer to listen quietly so I can hear road noise as well and these will either drown road noise out or allow you too hear it if you want. Works great with a half helmet too. Do yourself a favor and get these first. I didn't but if these need up somehow I'll be getting another set. Thanks for making an awesome product that doesn't skip and glitch and sounds great.

These are perfect to block out machinery noise and still allow you to enjoy music. Are they Bose quality? No however they are the only plugs I’ve found to shut out tractor noise and allow listening to music without the bulk or heat of a headphone set. Allows me to wear a hat to shade from the sun.

At first ears the sound quality isn't what I'm used to. It's pretty flat and clear with no bass but you can't tell them apart from ear plugs so thats a plus at work. They stay in your ear very very well. I've never had a headphone stay in my ear like this. I started using them while riding my motorcycle and I can actually hear the music over my loud exhaust. And I don't have to keep repositioning them in my ear at highway speeds.

Recently, my workplace issued a rule that we have to wear ear protection, and we couldn’t listen to music anymore. A few of us figured we should buy some of these and use them. A few notes: They work really well as functioning ear protection, but just as the listing states, sound quality is not the first priority. They sound like $10 earbuds from Walmart, which is fine by me, but some people can’t listen to anything below professional mixing gear. Second, and this is likely just me ‘cuz I have a tad bit of a latex alergy and sensitive skin, but they irritate my skin if I wear them for more than 3 hours. I work 12 hour shifts. Overall, though, the build quality is firm, they do act as both functional headphones AND hearing protection, and the best part is, none of my bosses have realized I’m Still listening to music at work. Well worth the $20 price tag.

I got these for work because they don’t allow headphones but they do allow ear plugs. These are absolutely perfect and way better then expected 👍

If you want incognito headphones these are for you. Everyone had no idea whatsoever that these were headphones. They look exactly like regular earplugs down to the size of the cable. They are definitely worth $20 to be able to listen to music at work when it's not allowed. Be aware thought you can't have too much quality and go incognito, so don't get mad off you snag them and they break. Take care of them they will last a long time.

These are great wired ear buds. Only thing be nice heavier wire to the buds. Good clear sound. Look just like ear plugs.

They're very comfortable, and have perfect sound quality. Great for using on a motorcycle, or at work on a construction site. I had my last pair for almost three years with regular use! Unfortunately I found out they don't like washing machines, so don't let that happen. The only real damage on that pair, as far as I could tell, is that the wires got loose going into the jack so it just made a poor connection. I've had my second pair for quite awhile. They work great, and I even caught them on a clip of a drill which tore the insulation. Little bit of tape to fix that, but they never quit working.

Are these good headphones? Yes. But I believe they're not completely worth the price. Pretty sure I spent $100 at the time. Sound quality is actually pretty good. Sometimes it appears to be bad but you have to perfectly get it in your ear to get the full range of sound. Constant notification about low battery is annoying. I don't know why that's common. Unnecessary Battery life fell over the course of me owning these which was only 2.25 years. I work a 10 hour shift. At first it would easily have enough power but after a while it would last only about 7 hours before low battery. Finally, it died only 2.25 years after purchase. That's not a long enough life. What I mean by it died is both sound channels stopped working. The headset will "turn on" indicated by the light. But no sound can be heard. The left and first and the right went out 2 weeks later. Shame, think I'll get the plug in ones this time.

Thank you Plugfones for making these ear plugs. My company I work for recently implemented a no headphone policy, but I skirt under the radar by wearing these. They look just like the earplugs they provide for us. These plugfones are much more durable than the original pair. It seemed like those died after just a few months. But these have a larger gauge cable that is much more durable. But I have had to replace the 2nd gen once because one of the ears stopped working. But it took a lot longer with the 2nd gen for it to fail. I also use these daily in a manufacturing environment.

I bought these so I could listen to music, etc. while shredding, plowing, and planting. They keep out enough sound to allow that while the tractor is idling, but once I crank up and go the tractor noise increases to the point that I would have to BLAST the music to hear it and I don't want to blow out my hearing. I'm going to try wearing earmuffs over these and see if that works. I would say for the use I intended, these are good but not great.

Good product

I bought these in May 2016. I've used them under a motorcycle helmet and they worked well, though they got pulled out of my ears when taking off the helmet. I wear them while mowing or edging the lawn, though again, sometimes they get caught and ripped out of my ears. I keep them wrapped up in my purse with no bag and pretty often the buds come off the wire. I've also used them underneath ear-muffs while wood working. I've found that "bed phones" work far better for this because they're flat and bluetooth. Now, one of the ears has stopped transmitting sound unless I hold the wire in a very specific way. I was just going to switch to regular headphones because I use bedphones for most everything now (and they're bluetooth). But when I remembered that I use them for lawn work, there's not really another option. I'll search for a bluetooth version of these in the spring.

excellent

Use them everyday at Work.. Usually last at least 6 months..

Was awesome until I got caught with them and my boss cut them in half

Have great so far. My only complaint is the noise canceling, but I do work in a factory setting.

Me parece que el sonido es excelente y el precio no es tan caro para la buena calidad que son

Purchased for my husband as an alternative to wearing larger noise cancellation muffs while using a chainsaw, mowing, etc. He came in to tell me to get him a backup pair because they’re so awesome. They are not quite the equal of large expensive muff-style protection but pretty close, and so much more convenient than the big ones. Maybe I’ll order a pair for myself for his deep snoring nights...

I have been using these for about 6 months maybe one day a week and they are still working great. I recommend the following: A cord clip so the wire clips to the back collar of my undershirt. This is important so there is always some slack so your head can turn without pulling on the wire. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07BSH86Y6/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 This MP3 player is tiny and runs for a 12 hour shift. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07D3QPN3Z/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Sanitizing wipes to clean the ear plugs. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01633Y242/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_image_o05_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Product looks exactly like the photo. I would give it 5 stars, if not for the battery life. The battery only lasts about 8 hours. I work a 12 hour shift and can't charge them. So they don't fully fulfill their purpose since I can use them for part of my shift.

First things first, of course when you are working and using these on a very regular basis, they will wear out and they will start to break. I dont know why people expect $16 ear buds to last forever even after daily use and being used in work environments. Chances are that if you need ear plugs, you are working in a place that requires physical labor or using machinery and alot of things can happen. I work in a production plant and I bought these headphones to blend in at work and so far, speaking face to face with my supervisor and also the plant manager with these in and music playing, they were both oblivious to their true purpose. I also bought these since they were the cheapest option and i wanted to see if the bluetooth pair would be an investment that id like to take. So far, that answer is yes. These headphones sound great, and with them being 50% “earplugs”, i can use these at low volumes while being able to hear the music clearly with minimal background noise. The materials used for these headphones are nice and silky soft rubber which are super comfortable and can be worn for hours without becoming uncomfortable or irritating. They also come with foam tips, but i havent used them because i feel like they would get dirty very quickly. I use these with the Apekx bluetooth adapter which is also very convenient and sleek, but thats for a different review. These headphones do not have a microphone or volume controller on them, but you get what you pay for. These are basic headphones without any bells and whistles but they are also made of great materials with great sound quality and they do a great job of drowning out the background noise. They come with a convenient carrying case which is good for prolonging the lifespan of these headphones. These were a great purchase and i will be buying the bluetooth pair.

These are loud and clear. Look just like the ear plugs at work so i can run the cord down the back of my shirt and nobody knows the difference. The cord is really long though so i had to tuck it in my jeans so nobody can see it. Haha

I can hear people talking and shoot guns without damaging my hearing tooth works well

Use the headphones everyday with the battery tucked under my tee shirt and the little clip attached to the back of my collar. Nobody has even asked about them because they look and are legit safety rated earplugs...it just so happens these have a little secret lol. Best part, you can pack them deep into the ear and seal out most sound or wear them a little lighter and still hear what's going on around you. Makes my 8/9 hour shift fly by a little easier when I'm listening to stuff. Now at first, I thought it might be distracting but it actually helped my work because I'm focused better. Even if I pause the media they are still solid little earplugs. Battery lasts the whole shift. Your phone may die before these do. Highly recommend if you want to drown out annoying coworkers. 5 star imo. Game changer.

I was always trying to get the best speakers and stealthy comm systems in my helmets, these days are over. I can wear any helmet I like with good sound quality and of course prevent hearing loss due to the protection. Normal earbuds don't offer the protection, and are a real pain trying to stay put when putting on your helmet. I ride a noisy Harley now, and ear protection has become a real must have. Actually every motorcyclist should wear protection, the wind noise only will screw up your hearing. I love them, give them a try I would say.

Best Buy for the money hands down. Use these for mowing on the tractor. I’ve tried head phones but with sun glasses and a hat it just don’t work, not to mention my ears melt from the heat and sweat. They work just as good as a set of 400.00 head phones without the side effects. If a tree branch rips them off and you ruin them - no biggie! For 20 bucks get another pair! You’ll cry for a week doin that to a set of Bose!

I was really impressed by this. As long as you insert foam correctly in the ear. They sound great ! for only this Price 5 Stars! i Love headphones i spend money on Beats, Bose, ect. Of course they do not sound like expensive headphones but they do not sound distorted and they do not stay behind in my opinion.. Great Product . 5 Stars

What's not to like? They are exactly like the earplugs people wear at my job. They keep outside noise out! Which is a good thing if your job is loud and you can rock out while your working. Dying laughing the whole time. Just dont tell anyone... It's your secret If you are looking for like super bad ass sound quality they are a 20 $pair of headphones it's awesome they play music ... be cool if they made an upgraded version for it ... I'd pay more but then again they are for work and I will probably just break em. These have lasted all summer. And I work a really intense job so... two thumbs up

Husband works in a factory and uses these daily! It's been a year now and they still work great 👍

Great ear plugs/buds. Not extremely loud but has awesome sound quality and bass. These don't need to be loud though due to noise cancelation. Without music playing, it'll be like having standard ear plugs in, with music, you won't hear any outside noise coming through. Very comfortable and very long cord .

Im not even sure if there is a mic. During meetings on my laptop they can only hear me when Im near the laptop and not when I step away- this is crippling during troubleshooting experiences with OEM support techs and you need to step away from a charging laptop to check a device and report whats happening without walking all the way back to the laptop. The range is very impressive for the bluetooth signal I will agree. Thats the only issue Ive had for these over the year I have had them. Just now considering alternatives for meeting purposes.

I enjoy that it comes with different ear pieces, and that the noise cancelation and sound work great. Only downside to them for me is the battery life is only 6-7 hours, and the microphone I always get complaints about when talking to people.

User friendly and works great for work when you are not a loud blue tooth But cord could be longer to hide the battery packs on the cords

Been using PlugFones for years now...this is my third pair of the Liberate 2.0's. I wear them all day, every day, so after a couple years or so one of the earbuds will stop working or something, so time for a new pair. Sound quality is good, especially if you're mostly just listening to podcasts or audiobooks. Don't expect these to blow you away listening to music as they're definitely a bit thin-sounding, but still perfectly usable if you just want some jams while you're working or on a plane or whatever. I used to prefer the silicone tips on older models, but they seem to have improved the shape/design of the foam tips and now I prefer the foams for fit/comfort. Have been and will continue to be a user of PlugFones.

I read several bad reviews on these but I have had zero problems with them. It's nice being able to listen to things while I'm working, and no one seems to know the difference between these and the disposable plugs! I'd say they are worth the money. Sounds quality is as good as some name brand earbuds I've used. Just make sure the speaker is well inserted in the earplug body and they're great.

This is my third pair of these headphones they are good quality for the money you pay and I work in them and I do strenuous work so they do get wear and tear and eventually one of the ears will go out after about three months or so and I just order another pair

This is my second pair! I lost the first pair. I love these the noise reduction is is outstanding! Sound quality is great. Best part no one knows I’m wearing headphones! Battery lasts up to 10 hours!

Sound is very good and interface works incredibly well. I was hoping to be able to use them with my motorcycle but I wear a half shell helmet and don't have a windscreen so after 45-50 MPH the sound can barely be heard. With a windscreen and/or a full face helmet I expect the sound would be good. They are great for working around the house though.

I had bought the plugfones guardian ear buds at a local hardware store and loved them. One side stopped working after about 9 months and I bought another pair and one side went out after about 9 months. Then I bought the basic ones because I never use the foam plugs just the silicone plugs and it was cheaper. The sound quality is good but not as good as the guardians but they have lasted over a year and are still going strong.

If i could give this product 6 stars I would. The volume can go so high it HURTS, far louder than any of my other earbuds. They do work as normal ear plugs without music playing. But, MOST IMPORTANTLY, the buttons and battery are far enough down the wire i can easily hide them in my T-shirt! My supervisor can suck a ****!

Loves these very comfortable and discrete. Working in a factory around loud presses being able to listen to music and still have approved headlines makes the day go much faster

The plugfones have an excellent sound quality. The only issue I have is that I wish the range was a little further.

Good quality, great sound, a little big for my ears but you can change the foam tips so I will be doing that with smaller ones. Overall great purchase. Battery life is enough for a regular 8hr shift.

These headphones come with two sets of headsets so you are never without your entertainment even in the longest of work days. The charging case is top notch and it brings a sleek carrying case to house the charging case and extra headsets. I also appreciated the extra ear bud tips. The quality of the sound isn’t great. It is lacking Bass. I think it is good value for what you pay, but audiophiles need to stay away.

I almost gave this product one star, until I figured out how they work… there are no instructions that come with this product. You might be saying, “why do you need instructions for earplugs?“. This is why… When you open the box, it has the cord which goes around your neck, and the 2 sets of ear plugs are separate and come in little plastic bags. There are two types, one is for full protection, and one is for partial protection. If you want to know which ones do what, just look at picture on the cover of the box. Easy enough… Now for the warning… I own a tree removal company and I am around very loud noises all day, so I bought these because I liked the idea of the attached cord to secure the earplugs so I could easily take them in and out without having to screw around with holding them or putting them in my pocket all the time when not in use. So I bought these specifically for the full protection set since I am around pretty extreme amounts of noise. When I went to put the plugs into the cord they were slipping in and out so easily that they were completely ineffective, and offered almost no sound protection. So as I was putting them back in the box to return them, I decided to try out the partial protection earplugs to see if those worked better. They did, and this is why…. What they don’t tell you, since they don’t provide instructions, is that there is another piece besides the plugs and the cord which secures the plugs to the cord and offers most of the sound protection. When you open the box, this piece has been pre-installed into the partial protection plugs, but not the full protection plugs. Once I figure this out and pulled the partial protection plugs off of this piece and installed the full protection plugs, they worked great. I love them. That being said, all of this could’ve been solved with a simple paper insert explaining this. Since the plugs are so good, I don’t want to give them anything less than five stars, so that’s why I am writing instructions on their behalf… I hope they read this review and start putting instructions in the box, otherwise they are going to get about half of their products returned if people happen to try the full protection plugs first. Perhaps they just forgot to put the instructions in my box, and that’s certainly possible, but just in case they all come like this, I hope this review helps.

These things are awesome. The running joke in the shop is, don't tell anyone about them so no one finds out they aren't, "ear plugs." Pro's Discreet, we have these blue/yellow ear plugs at work. And it's pretty noisy usually. They are instantly disregarded as normal earplugs. They reduce outside noise level Con's The foam plugs that come with them are a bit too big and get dirty easy The sound is "ok" The cord is a bit short for having to run the wire all the way to my phone in my pocket. If I turn too far with my neck they usually pull out of my ear. Go ahead and get silicone replacement plugs. It's just a matter of time before the foam ones get dirty.

I use the plugphones for my Raceceiver at the dirt track. These are very comfortable in my ear and provide me enough hearing protection to hear our race information, and the cars around me which is important. I broke my first pair getting out of the car at my own fault, not the product. I believe the audio could be better but I'm still a repeat customer.

Keeps sound muted cheaply, looks like earplugs so i could wear them at work, pretty durable i went through like a pair ever 6+ months putting them in my pocket every day after i wore them for my 12 hour shifts. Eventually the wire would break and one of the headphones would die. They would get earwax and pocket lint on them, pretty much everything sticks to these theyre very soft, so i would wash them with soap and water at the begining of every shift. Yea for the application, these were perfect.

I bought these for travel on non-airline aircraft that are loud and require wearing ear protection. They offered the same protection and noise reduction, it seemed, as any old foamie ear pro, but I was able to listen to tunes while traveling. Sound quality was pretty good...not a super high fidelity ear piece, certainly, but about what I expected. My only misgiving was that they were a little uncomfortable for 2-3+ at a time. The soft foamie is better than the other kind, but still a little uncomfortable. Would recommend, though, if you need to wear ear pro, but want to listen to music/etc.

Let me start by saying, I've purchased MANY earbuds over the years and I've hated every one of them. For whatever reason, they've never fit right. They would either fall out or I couldn't hear the music very well because they didn't fit, no matter what I did. Because earbuds would be so convenient, I decided to give these a shot. After all, they're a little different than typical earbuds. I almost can't believe it, they're perfect for me. 1. I prefer the rubber tip over the foam but they're both good. 2. They come with a convenient (small) carrying case. 3. The sound quality is equal to any decent earbud style headphones. In my case it's infinitely better because I can actually use them and hear the music. 4. Since they're made just like normal ear plugs, they do a great job cancelling outside noise. If you like to listen to music while you mow the lawn, these are the headphones for you. I can't speak to their durability as I haven't had them long. If any problems arise I will edit this review. Overall, I seriously couldn't be happier. Even if they don't last long, I'll just buy another pair. They're that perfect for me. The bluetooth version would be even better but I just couldn't spend the 100$ on them. Instead, I use the bluetooth device I plug into the stereo in my truck. Simply plug the headphones into the bluetooth thing (I can't recall the name), and pair to it. There you go, instant bluetooth headphones.

I use these plugged into my Sena 10S Bluetooth intercom on my motorcycle helmet. They give me hearing protection and much better audio than the Sena speakers. I've worn them for 6 hrs of riding and they were still comfortable

I've used this for two days now. In heat, water, and,rough physical conditions. It's holding up well and does everything advertised. Update. Used these daily for months now. These things are durable and quality. Holding up very well and have not degraded in sound of quality of manufacturing. 5 star product

I always preferred Plugfones to other brands. However, I tried a competitor's completely wire free earbuds and didn't like them at all. Plugfones seem to have the best fit. And I think the sound quality is really good for the price.

Works great

I ordered this product since it comes with both full protection and high fidelity earplugs. I need full ear protection when I operate machinery. I also need partial ear protection when I operate a lawnmower or chainsaw but still be aware of my surroundings. Both pairs of earplugs work pretty well for me. These earplugs are comfortable to wear and stay put pretty well. They come with interchangeable silicone and foam tips. I like the fact that they come with an anti-drop cord which you can use to keep the earplugs over your neck when not wearing them, which is very convenient and one of the deciding factors for me. A little soft pouch with carabiner is provided for storage and travel as well. Overall, I'm pretty pleased with these earplugs. You get both full and partial ear protection pairs for under $35, which is a pretty good value in my book. The reason I knocked a star off is the lack of instructions. It took me some trial and error to figure out how to get the right protection out of them. Other than that, they get the job done.

Absolutely fabulous. This product, with it's discrete, earplug-like appearance, has assisted me in maintaining my sanity at the overwhelming, laborious, monotonous factory job.-In which I unfortunately spend anywhere from 50-70 hours each week, often going without a day off for many fortnights. Thanks to this product, I am now able to stimulate my brain with important information via 'NPR' podcasts, fill my heart with laughter from the greatest comedians, and most importantly, fuel my soul with the power of music. As for the product itself, I am happy to report that the quality of the headphones has been beyond satisfactory. I have had this product for roughly 6 weeks, and have inadvertently ripped the auxiliary from my phone in the roughest of fashions many a time without compromising the wires/causing a short. As a musician I have been through headphones quicker than underpants, and these have outlived every set of earbuds. My only complaint is that the foam plugs collect dirt quicker than a colony of ants devour a gumdrop. This almost destroyed me. The bright yellow plastic piece on the inside, flush against the dirt encrusted foam, could have easily blown my plug disguise in an instant if someone had paid remote attention to my ears. Thank goodness no one did such a thing! Once I returned to my humble abode, I removed such foam plugs immediately! Thus replacing them with its rubber plug counterpart. The rubber plug has not a single blemish of grime after nearly one month of daily usage....BBBUUUUTTTTT...The sound quality has deteriorated immensely! In attempts to fit them into my ears as properly as possible, I noticed a bit of pain resonating from my ear drum. Seems as though they cause my ears to become more sensitive, while canceling out much less noise than its foam associate. The quality of the bass has been cut in half-if not more, which makes it difficult for me to truly enjoy my music without the full sound experience I am entitled to receive. Sometimes they make my ears sweat too, causing severe discomfort. I think the plug covers should be sold separately.

These earbuds are great for work. I work in a tire manufacturing plant and use aftershock titanium bluetooth headphones which are an approved item by the safety department. Occasionally I forget to bring my headphones and I'm so used to having music while I work that it totally throws me off. I bought these plug phones because they look like earplugs, but it was a pain because they had to be plugged into my phone. Recently I washed and dried them mistakenly for the second time which damaged them beyond repair. I was pleasantly surprised. Especially by the overall sound quality. This item is made well. I bought two more pair so I have a set at home and I keep a set in the bag that I carry to and from work for the rare times that I forget my headphones. I was also introduced to a bluetooth transmitter which I can plug my plug phones into, clip the transmitter to my belt and enjoy Wireless music because the transmitter turns them into bluetooth headphones. The transmitter has volume, skip forward and back controls. I most definitely recommend these plugfones alone or in conjunction with the bluetooth transmitter. Unpackaging was quick and effortless. Buy this item knowing that they work well... Just don't dry them in the dryer. ?

I have to do yard work which includes a chainsaw. It is much trial and error with these as there are no instructions provided. Once the are figured out they are amazing. To the manufacturer: PLEASE PROVIDE INSTRUCTIONS!

Great sound quality and superb hearing protection. Its just like having earplugs in, and then you can have music or podcasts on while you work.

They are good but need a little bit of work on the sound quality and battery life and noise cancelation

Purchased these while I was working a job in a papermill where it is REALLY loud. Expected to have to at least turn up the music but I was wrong. It really cancelled the background noise a lot and my music was still heard without having half volume. Only problem I have is the cord. Even though it has a clip, the cord will work it's way to one side or another as you work and end up pulling the earbud. Not a really big issue considering the trade off though. Also the durability is great. Accidently left them in my pocket and they got washed. They still worked with no loss of performance. Have recommended them to everyone who's asked about them, even site safety officers. Edit 8/9/21: lost my earbuds. Found them in a pair of shorts pocket AFTER they've been washed. This is the second time these buds have been washed. THEY STILL WORK! Changed 4 star to 5. Highly impressed

They fit properly with changeable ear pieces,and being they look & wear like regular ear plugs at work.Awesome

These work well to listen to audiobooks and music with normal volume levels while commuting on motorcycle using a full helmet. They block out the wind noise and I can listen at about the same levels as when I'm just walking with these in. The audio quality is not great not terrible. It's about what you would expect from headphones at this price. I've had them for about 2 months of commuting 3-5 days a week. They fit well and I don't have any trouble with them coming out while putting on a snug properly fitted full helmet. They haven't broken yet.

I wanted to use them on my riding lawnmower, listening to podcast. They do cut out a lot of background noise but not enough to block the riding mower. They would be great for flights, or as a passenger in a car. Happy to have them and will use them on other projects.

I use these to listen to music and cancel out noise during long trips on motorcycles. They cancel noise decently well. The music was not super loud with them, but I have a really loud bike, so I can't fault them much for that. It still sounded pretty good.

4.5 stars: After 1 month, one side starting cutting out after 10-60min of use. No amount of manipulation of the plug or wiring affects the issue. After 20min unplugged, they start working but would cut out again after a time. Until this started happening I really loved them for noise reduction, comfort, and clear audio in the noisy conditions I use them in. For the price, they fully met my expectations. The manufacturer's website has a clear 180day warranty policy so I submitted the replacement request form provided. I'll update the review once I determine their resolution. Update: the manufacturer responded a couple days after submitting my replacement request. They asked me to fill out form and email pics of the form along with my plugfones. They immediately responded saying a replacement was shipped - which I received about 4 days later. Very happy with the responsiveness. I'll report back if the new ones have any issues.

Ok Ill start by saying I read reviews of these and was leary but purchased anyway and so far one week in and 8 hrs a day they have been pretty good. The sound suppression as far a hearing protection works for what I need however in a very loud environment the silicone plugs wont cut it, Im sure the foamies will work better but there are not replacements for them and foamies are not cleanable. As for the sound quality, Certain songs come through a little tinny but what do you expect from a tiny speaker, sound quality depends on getting them to the right depth in your ear. Battery life has been great 8 hr shift no charging. You cant pause play on an mp3 player but volume adjust works. The range actually surprises me at times. Now to the important part the battery and controls hide under your shirt collar so far no one has questioned that they are ear plugs and I get to keep listening to my music so the night goes by faster. All in all Id definitely buy them again. I use these with a sandisk sport mp3 player that has bluetooth.

This item is exactly what I was expecting!! I can jam or listen to podcast all through my shift confident that no one will bother me about headphones

I got these for my husband who plays music and sometimes likes to go see live bands. He normally uses the disposable type earplugs so these were a step up. He said that these are more comfortable and he feels like he can still hear the music without it being so muffled that it's not appreciable but does not have the ear ringing the next day like he would get with cheaper plugs The only downside to these is the expense and that they are not disposable so you have to be more careful not to lose them. Thanks for reading my review

These are the best ear phones and also pretty great as ear plugs. Many earbuds don't stay in my ears and they're hard and uncomfortable. These are the only ones that really work for me. I can sleep in them too. It's important to clean them with alcohol after using.

I ordered these a year ago and they were fantastic. They lasted 12 hour shifts at work and were great for noise cancellatiom. Ordering a new pair now, they've only gotten better since my last purchase a year ago. The foam tips were improved and it came with this rubber channel to keep them around your neck which wasn't a thing when I ordered before. Mine were always loose and I needed something else to keep them from falling off my neck. I don't quite remember but it feels like they also included more rubber tips this time around too which I was always preferential to. I would always recommend them before but I didn't know about the new changes until now.

Battery life isn't terrible. Sound quality isnt the greatest. They do seem kind of cheap. But for the price, it's a decent deal.

Update: did receive a replacement unit, and it works great battery last full 12 hours if volume is at between 50 and 75% which is really good audio. Would recomend ordering replacement plugs because they get dirty really fast, after sone time worn out ear plugs do affect sound so it is best if they are replaced periodically. Battery drains very fast even after charging it all day, last around 6 hours, sound quaility is decent but battery is horrible will be returning

Gooooddddd

I needed ear protection for mowing the lawn and these sound protecting ear buds are perfect, even for my small ear canals. Soft material is easy to push in and remove. Easy to clean if needed. I recommend these for hearing protection and provide acceptable speaker performance as well.

They definitely sound better then their corded model. Battery lasts forever too which is awesome. Only problem I had with mine was one of the buds came apart when I first got it. I pushed it back together cause I didn't want to go through that hassle of returning it and so far so good it's held up fine. Honestly with safety oriented jobs sites these things have changed my life. God forbid safety sees you wearing headphones but they absolutely love it when you have hearing protection in!

Very good

Dont waste your money buy some treks they are way better last longer and more durable plus u can get a base pair for about 80$ MY PLUG PHONES SUCKED BUT I BOUGHT 3 pair of treks my self in 5 years my wife a pair and her mother and all of them still work today

Just Like it, love the wireless, also, due to ear protection with music. Use for mowing, outside entertainment.

I love these earphones. They are definitely an upgrade from the cheaper version. They sound crisp, the bass is just right. They are fantastic, sound quality wise. BUT, I have to buy a pair every 3 months because I use these every single day. I have a hot, sweaty, constant pace job and that somehow causes one the ear phones to short out, and somehow it seems to be right at 3 months. But still, before that third month hits, they are quality sound earphones that will keep you going all day. Also. The silicone buds are fantastic. The foam buds these come with are horrible. You can easily attach them, but trying to remove them without destroying them is impossible for me. The silicone is all I use. They do make the inside of my ears itchy at times, but nothing major.. Just remove the buds (which is simple with the silicone) and clean them. Just be prepared to buy up to 4 pairs a year. ( I'm about to be on my 3rd this year alone because my second pair just died.)

I was looking foe a stealth bluetooth for mah 10 - 12 job & these work as advertised. Despite the not so great review & that price... I bought these anyway. They work & sound rly good considering their size & the size of the hole the sound goes thru. The signal strength is also good. The foam tips tear rly easy but i just snugged them off carefully & placed the silicone 1s on instead which work & feel better The battey dont quite last that 12 hours i was hoping for but they do last 10 which is still great & better than wut i had b4. These rly are stealthy. i wear wrangler collared shirts everyday so tucking in the 2 black hardware encasements on the string aint no problem. The lights would b a giveaway but i simply put a paper label over it & used a black sharpie to make it dissappear. One cud use a tiny piece of black tape if they wanted to cover the litl blu lite. Ive had my leads & supervisors not say a word to me about these. They hav no clue whatsoever. They just assume its regular earplugs & they technically are... "Wink wink" In all it was worth the price to me for these things. Ive had no problem wutsoever. Wud hav given 5 stars were it not for the battery charge life & that price.... Yea... Its high... But again, worth it!

I've tried a dozen different ear speakers for under my helmet. I've tried helmet speakers too. Nothing g worked over the sound of 15 Outlaw Racing Karts screaming on the track. These were the FIRST ear buds that I could hear the flagman!! I bought 2 more pairs in case I break my first ones.. Love them!!!

I am completely satisfied with these. Good enough sound and bass, good volume, great battery life. My favorite bluetooth device to date, as far as work is concerned. I am a self employed carpenter, so holding a phone is a real time suck. The microphone seems to be fairly good at allowing me to keep working, and making noise, while on the phone. Saws and such are still fairly loud on the other end, but tolerable, especially if you are talking to your carpenter buddy! Only possible complaint is it has no clip included to keep it in place. I snarfed one off an old bt device, and keep it clipped to itself below my chin. Works for me... Highly recommend! 53 WEEK UPDATE: So, my left channel cut out at approximately a week after one year. I use them every day. I still like them, and still use them for one ear audio and hearing pro. Disappointed that I could not get them to last longer. My nephew bought a pair upon my recommendation and his died in slightly less time than mine. He also had left channel cut out. I am hesitant to buy another pair, and have to downgrade from 5 stars to 4 because of our shared experience with this product. I would buy another pair in a heartbeat if they came out with a pair that had heavier gauge wire. A nice touch would also be right angle connections at the earbud, to facilitate over ear protection for really loud noise: sometimes the earbuds get pushed on by my earmuffs, which can be quite painful. I still recommend them, I guess 365 or so days of continuous duty is good enough, but the price is a bit tough to swallow.

No hay necesidad de hacer mala promoción dice que puede durar hasta 10 horas de batería y se me descargó en 7 horas mi primer día de uso ni siquiera mis 8 horas de trabajo

I used these under my helmet during a recent cross-country motorcycle trip, and I am very pleased. They do muffle a fair amount of noise, and the audio quality is good, with a healthy amount of bass while also not sounding tinny on the other end of the spectrum. The cord is long, and I appreciated that the headphones have a piece to cinch the cords closer together. Also included is a “cord tamer” and a surprisingly useful carrying case. Finally, I got caught in the rain while wearing these which turned out to be a positive experience because it made the ear pieces more pliable, providing a better fit.

Absolutely worth the money. I work in a repair shop that is a very hard place for earbuds to be in. These have held up wonderfully for the 9 months I've had them. Great battery life make it through a full shift on a charge and then some. I will definitely buy again when. These finally stop working.

The only complaint is the battery low notification is way too frequent, tell me it's low once and I got it, no need to keep saying it every thirty seconds until they die. And the voice notification saying the battery is low is way too long, chime once or twice instead god its so annoying.

Sound quality is a little poor but they do their job. They work well as ear plugs and look just like our company supplied ear plugs to be sneaky

Good little look-alikes! Used these at my workplace to inconspicuously listen to music. I would use these and run the cord down my shirt to a Bluetooth dongle with a clip that I could clip to my pants. I wear longer shirts to make sure the dongle is covered as I work. Used these for several years, only a really close co-worker has found out when they went to mess with my earplugs. My main complaint is that they’re kind of hard to grip by the base when they’re in my ears. It makes me want to pull them out by the cord, which broke my first set. They made my ears a bit sore using them at first, but I got used to them. Went through 6-8 pairs using them 9 hours a day/5 days a week for about 4 years. Pretty good product overall.

I bought my first pair of these months ago and I have been using them on my job daily. 7 days a week and any where from 8 - 12 hours a day. I work in a foundry its dirty and extremely hot so far they have worked flawlessly. I even where them around the house some days before and after work. I'm fairly rough on them. I want you to know how much I wear my ear buds. a typical pair of 20 $ walmart skullcandys ONLY LAST ME 30 DAYS. Like clock work those skullcandys go bad that's how much I use them. The plugphones are still working from my first set. They could be a little louder and the sound quality is good but not like a high end pair of earbuds. For audiobooks or pod cast they work great. I highly recomend them if like me u work in an enviroment where if you have fun your fired or your lazy and are going to be fired then use these. I have spoken to my supervisor to area supers and the plant president and not one had the slightest clue I was listen to head phone lol its great. They were so happy with my boss thinking it was him who got me to start wearing ear plugs instead of ear buds. Lol they are well worth every penny

I use all the time. I really love it.

I waited some months to tell you, these are excellent for downlow secret listening. The spend most their time hanging down my chest getting all over everything so I can hear people while I fix their machines. I have to do that with normal hearing protection too. These have survived months of 6 days a week 12 hours a day hardcore work. It’s hard to hear around the noisiest machines but I don’t spend too long under those Next half year update. Identical to day I bought them, they spend 12 hours a day 6 days a week in my ears or hanging so I can hear machine, I listen to about 6+ hours of streaming radio a day. No one still knows they are Bluetooth and not regular ear plugs.

Everything about these are great! I use these on my motorcycle to listen to GPS directions and they work great! A steal at the price!

Great sound quality and outstanding noise cancellation, extended battery life. I charge them over night and they last through my whole entire 10 hr shift of straight podcasts lol.

These are perfect for yard work. Totally block out the motor noise and stay in your ears comfortably. The sound is pretty good but does distort at higher volumes but they stay put all day. All the other Bluetooth earbuds I have tried are frustrating because I have to stop and put them back in my ear or, they don't block the ambient noise. They are a little pricey but the battery will last all day. They will also drowned out the annoying coworker that won't stop talking.

I love them lasted me about two years but I work in a pretty rough job and they finally gave out

I own several now and love them. Comfortable to wear all day and cancel noise well

I like going to races, but realized that I stop being able to hear the announcers after the cars space out, and I lose track of what's happening. With these, I can listen to the race's live broadcast while effectively protecting my ears. Total life hack! The audio is about what you'd expect at this price point and I don't expect they'll last for too long, but for what I needed them for they were perfect.

I'm on my second pair of these, and I wanted to wait to see how they held up to write a review. I love these headphones. I am a proffesional woodworker, and spend my day surrounded by noisy equipment, these things block virtually everything out, even annoying coworkers at the right volume(just kidding guys, but they do work that well!). The first pair, the wire eventually pulled out after almost 4 months of use. Which isn't bad considering the amount of use they got. With the second pair, the first thing I did was put a tiny drop of CA glue where the wire meets the case, and this at least seems to help, in fact it works so well, that the wire insulation is now pulling off the wires, but the phones still work. I will caution the new user to take it easy when removing these phones, and do not yank on the wires, or you will be sorely disappointed with the results. I also use them when riding my motorcycle. I will caution you all, however that they work well enough to require you to be hyper alert on the road. They will block out traffic. I will buy more of these, and probably even gift them to friends an coworkers. Excellent product.

Good swap look-a-like ear plug. Walk around a factory where we cannot wear ear buds but must have a ear plug that is OSHA approved. These gave been noticed by some and I have been reported, but o believe that is my fault for turning them off and on walking out the door at end of shift. Great sound quality and does a better job of canceling out noise than that of their counter part without the ear bud speakers!!! I've been using them for a year and have left them in my work jeans twice in the washer and dry and they work just as well as before.

These earbuds are the best I've ever used. Works fantastic on my motorcycle and mowing the lawn. Superb noise cancelling properties. Great buy for the money!!

If so then these are for you. I have actually had to tape mine in at times. These however come with two different interchangeable silicone plugs. I have been using the "christmas tree" one as it stays put and seals out distracting outside sounds better then Apple-type ear buds which on me, just hang there. One word of caution, since they can occlude your ear canal, the pressures generated by high volumes have no place to vent so your ear drum can take a beating. This actually happened to me over the years playing electronic drums though very tight occlusive head phones so just be careful! Solid product.

PROS: Build quality, sound quality, comfort, battery life, ease of use, price. CONS: None OPPORTUNITIES: An app to manage the device with battery-remaining info, sound/equalizer settings, etc. would be a nice addition.

I work in a warehouse where headphones aren’t allowed but I need music to get me through an entire shift. So I searched for some earphones that looked like the ear plugs at work “which I thought I’d have no luck with” but I found these and read a good amount of reviews and decided to try them out for myself. I was skeptical about the sound quality but they sound very good quality to me. It comes with a case that includes different size heads which I love! As well as a comfort neck support that can come off.

Works very well for using as an ear plug. Sound quality is a little to be desired, but truthfully it’s worth the sacrifice. Battery longevity is amazing. Have never run out of battery life yet, even using for 9 hours almost steadily. Having a dual weight distribution keeps them centered all day. I have already purchased multiple pairs just in case! Definitely a must buy if you need earplugs and want music/podcasts/books while you work. Works very well for phone calls also. Have used with helmet on a motorcycle and also work well. Enjoy them!!

These are my go to ear protection alternative for work. They resemble actual ear protection PPE close enough that I have never been noticed wearing them. They are comfortable, which I didn't even think would be an issue until I tried another brand and they were too large. The sound is good enough. the bass response is there, so music sounds good. I've been using this brand for going on 2 years and the one issue I have is that they tend to fail within 3 to 6 months. The wire connection at the plug fails, and the split in the wire to left and right fails (EDIT: my latest pair, one of the wires pulled out a bit from the ear bud). I have learned to be as careful as possible with these points and the sets do seem to be lasting longer. This is a relatively minor issue, given the cost and the fact that I can enjoy music or whatever at work with this product, whereas without it, I cannot.

We have a farm and feedlot operation. My husband needed hearing protection and earbuds. These were literally half the price that the local store wanted but the exact brand and quality. He wears these in the shop to listen to talk radio and while grinding hay. The battery has a long life and so far they have held up to all the dirt and abuse he gives them.

Espero que me dure la carga la verdad se conectan súper fácil y tienen buena calidad 🤩

I notice the volume is a bit low for these but works just fine. Looks exactly like my earplugs for work !

Very surprised! They sound great, definitely for the price. Don't expect deep base, but there is some. Very clear and cancels out the noise around you. Low tech that is above a lot of the high tech and costly devices out there. Will update after my next roadtrip on the Harley. Pretty sure I will have good results there too.

I have used these for years and they usually work for at least 6 to 9 months before they stop working. The most recent pair I purchased didnt work right out of the package. One ear had no sound, and the other popped in and out with normal and quiet sound. I like this product, but seeming that they are made for construction personnel they should be a little bit more rigid.

I use this product at work to listen to music and get in lectures from my college courses. They fool our safety guy all the time he just thinks they’re earplugs and that’s what I bought them for

The noise cancellation is amazing and the sound is very good quality!! I recommend this item!

Worked great right out of the box as they were already charged recharge them for work later that night, they worked great was able to get almost 8 hours of listening to music out of them before the battery died box says up to 10hrs so will see but overall so far great product I do know others with the same product that have an experienced any issues

Worked great for a couple weeks, then the buttons quit working.

Anyone who uses a Sena bluetooth communicator knows that the combination of wind noise in your helmet and earplugs that you are, or should be, wearing, make hearing the Sena a bit difficult. These really go a long way to solving that problem. They connect right into the Sena output port and block wind/road noise, while letting through your music, phone and GPS prompts, etc. It's the best solution I've found so far for the Sena.

These are surprisingly great headphones. I bought these to replace my motorcycle helmet speakers and wear while riding my motorcycle. I ride a GSXR 750 with an aftermarket full exhaust system and with these headphones I can barely hear it. The sound quality is also pretty amazing. They pack a nice amount of bass and you can actually hear the music. Oh, I also have a modular helmet that has a lot of wind noise while riding and these eliminate all that noise. I will probably never buy another set of helmet speakers after riding with these.

These are great! Easy to conceal under collar,hat, shirt if need be. They definitely reduce outside noise when used correctly. Sound quality, battery life are above what I expected. Well worth the money.

I love these things, our shop doesn't allow music of any kind, i have been using these for quite some time with great success. The sound quality is really good if you are using the foam earplugs, you lose a lot of bass if you use the rubber ones, but they stay cleaner and are easier to use. The foam pads don't compact very well for insertion due to the hole down the center and can be a challenge to get in some times. I only give them 4 stars instead of 5 because the cord is too short based on the nature of how these are used. Since you have to hide the cord, it would be nice if i could run the cord down my back under my shirt then tuck it into my front pocket with my mp3 player. So i either have to buy an extension cord, or wear a undershirt with a pocket which adds a slight detection risk if your over-shirt is a thin material. It would be nice if the cord was a foot longer.

I wear them in a factory and they cancel the noise really well. I can take a call and be able to hear what someone is saying on the phone.

I bought these for my husband who had already worn out a pair of Plugfones. He really likes how durable they are.

These are awesome. If you have a job that requires you to wear ear plugs but you want to listen to music or whatever. This is it. After 6 months in a brutal environment they still work great. The sound quality is not horrible. It lacks bass mostly. Otherwise it's loud enough to hear over loud machines. The battery life is absolutely incredible. Everyday I get 10 straight hours from a charge. If your looking for sound quality then go buy a $200 Bose or Sony headset. If your trying to enjoy yourself while following rules at work then this is it. Highly recommend.

Los compre para usar con ruido marron para poder dormir, tengo unos vecinos insoportables que ponen música a todo volumen esto me esta ayudando mucho

These things are awesome. The running joke in the shop is, don't tell anyone about them so no one finds out they aren't, "ear plugs." Pro's Discreet, we have these blue/yellow ear plugs at work. And it's pretty noisy usually. They are instantly disregarded as normal earplugs. They reduce outside noise level Con's The foam plugs that come with them are a bit too big and get dirty easy The sound is "ok" The cord is a bit short for having to run the wire all the way to my phone in my pocket. If I turn too far with my neck they usually pull out of my ear. Go ahead and get silicone replacement plugs. It's just a matter of time before the foam ones get dirty.

Works great to reduce noise. However the sound quality is rather poor. You also really need to crank up the volume to hear anything around noisy or loud equipment.

Love them

Great earplugs, I have had these for about a year now. I bought these to hear music while riding my motorcycle, and they work fantastic for that. I can mow the grass and have the volume at 75% and not hear the mower at all. *About a week ago I forgot them in my sweatshirt pocket, which went through the washer and dryer. I untangled them, and plugged them in expecting them to be ruined. Nope! They still work perfectly! Summary: Best noise cancelling earphones I have ever used, solid bass, good sound quality. Never had to have the volume above 75%, plenty loud for me. Would buy again!

I've had a wired pair of these before and I loved them.. Now that I have an mp3 player with Bluetooth I got these and they are just as good as the other ones if not better

Very durable loud and noise canceling

Honestly I like it, it's strictly focus for work, volume is limited for a reason. If I want it louder, I have other ones I would use. It blocks noise like 80% which is good for me at work. These ones sounded like a record player, which is more clearer than digital player. It's more defined, enough Highs, mids are pretty clear, bass is enough for work. No trouble on pairing, battery is pretty good so far, I did 2x10 hours shift before I get the low battery warning. Ive shortened or coiled the cord to my needs by tapping the excess wires. It doesn't get in my way. Will update when battery performance decreased. At first youll feel pressure in the external auditory canal, but ill forget its in there when busy with work, It does get slippery inside the ears after a while but it doesn't fall out, I had to take it out slowly or it will give that pop noise, which would be bad if it's daily, slowly works better. Still doing more research to understand it better for me. I just think of it as if it was a torque ranch with 200lbs strength, can't use it on a 10lbs nut, it would snap it. Strictly for work. I don't know why these sounded better than the Freereign ones, it more clear, but overall both is good for me at work. Since I have 2, battery isn't daily concern....yet. will update later.

They definitely block out the outside noise, sound of music is great through them. Only downside is after a couple months of use one side or the other cuts out. Still block out noise but you get no music sound. Have bought 4 pairs now 3 of the 4 this has happened to the 4th ones I haven’t used yet. This happens to other coworkers as well. These definitely don’t last a long time but do work good for the price

Excellent noise cancellation you expect from earplugs and I really like the sound quality. They stay in your ear and even with highway speed winds they do not budge. I use them while riding my loud ass harley. The cancellation and speakers work so well together I can't really hear the engine which is what I use to know when to shift, which is a good thing. That was what was going to make me deaf. They aren't Beats but Beats aren't practical for what I use them for. I recommend.

I bought these for my husband. He is a welder & spends his entire day under his helment, & I read an article about welders suffering from severe depression due to having no interaction with other people. So I decided he needed some earbuds so he could listen to his audio bible, music,etc..... He said they are great & make his day so much better! Also they are OHSA approved so he doesn't get in trouble. He said the overall quality is great!! Would definitely recommend!

Much better than using earplugs and in helmet speakers if you have a communicator with headphone jack. I have tried many solutions and this is the best. Very durable.

This is my second pair after the first pair lost audio in one side after 6 years of tough use and abuse. I not only would buy them again, I did. Please do follow the directions to reach behind your head and pull your ear back while inserting the earbud on each side. You’ll be glad you did.

As a welder, I’ve worked a handful of jobs managed by sadistic old geezers who don’t allow headphones OR radios, ever. As a lifelong learner that also has worked 60+ hours a week for three plus years now, being able to listen to podcasts and audiobooks is a necessity. Enter Plugfones! The answer to an entire generation’s cry for help! After a couple weeks testing it out and comparing it the blue and yellow ear protection at work, I finally came up with the ideal setup 1. Whatever pocket you carry your phone in, punch a small hole at the top and then, as best you can, sew around the edges to prevent us from enlarging. 2. Fit the Plugfones jack and an Apple dongle adaptor (for iPhone) the the hole you created and fortified. 3. Now run the earpieces around your side, up your back, and over your shoulders. Do this BEFORE you put your work shirt on. 4. Now, to prevent the Plugfones from getting dangerously tangled or suspiciously wrapped up, give the earpieces the proper slack (I measure by pulling down to centerline of my chest), then use gorilla tape or duct tape to secure the Y in the cord between your shoulder blades. 5. Enjoy audio practically risk free. I’ve been using this method at a very micromanaged, absurdly safety conscious manufacturing plant, and in 5 months no one has noticed or even given my “earplugs” a second though. Hiding in plain sight!

I use these to block out sound in our moderately noisy office. Without music, they don't completely block out the external chatter. However, I only have to play white noise/music at a very low volume to completely block external sounds. It does provide overall better isolation than average earbuds. Ive had them for a month and no quality /connection issues. I use the silicone plugs. I found the foam ones worthless.

They work pretty good. My biggest complaint is the noise cancellation. I work in a loud factory and when I have these in I can't hear people right next to me talking to me, but can hear the radio playing from across the giant building I'm working in, weird. The sound quality isn't terrible but is a little lacking in bass. As far as battery life goes it works good for an 8 to 10 hour shift no issues, but once it says battery is low it shuts off a couple minutes later and says it still has 20% battery life left.

these are wonderful how they are two in one so I can work to protect my ears and listen to music or podcasts while I work. they are very durable and you change the tips out too. I love these.

I have E*A*R brand ear plugs like these that are the best. These work (almost) as well for sound suppression, ( like 92%), and they play music! The volume is a bit limited, ( a good thing) but, even when I am grindingon steel, I can hear the music clearly.

2nd pair of these due to losing first pair. I wear these at work while welding/grinding/air gouging. These cut out the noise just as good as traditional ear plugs. Can wear them with all day comfort in my ears. Comes with multiple ear pieces to fit your ears, which is nice.

These are great for riding motorcycles only down side is that the ear plugs might not fit you well if you have lil ears, would be cool if they was a lil louder but they are clear when you ride and stay in place I only used them three times so far will do an update if they break or anything in the near future but if you been look for good sound quality while riding this have been the best solution so far and trust me I spent thousands to find the perfect solution and other down side you might get a full 6 hours of listening time so get two pair if you ride far, the quality could also be better more rugged

The product is great, it works well, does what it says. I did have to wait almost 2 months as the first set was faulty, the second set came opened and missing parts, and the third set was fine but that process took forever between shipping back and forth.

You get what you pay for. You shouldn’t expect brand name sound quality out of them but has the perfect volume in my opinion. I work in loud areas and it blocks the sound pretty good. Hard to hear what your listening to in very loud areas. Battery is surprisingly good. I haven’t had any BT connection issues at all.

They wear the same as your typical yellow rubber ear plugs. The charge will get you through a 10 hour shift at work. So it comes with a clip put it on and clip it to your shirt between the battery and the controls. You can listen to a book or music just fine in a loud environment, however phone calls is harder for who you are talking to hear you in loud areas because of the mike does cancel out the background

These are extremely comfortable keeps noise of lawnmowers leave blowers even the printing press where I work to a minimum comfortable level. The sound quality for music is exceptional and voice quality is fantastic.

Left ear bud don’t work ! First pair I bought work great for the 5 months I had them ! 2nd pair trash 🙄

Cancels noice at full volume but also blows your hearing after. A little over medium volume and should be able to hear your songs and a forklift horn. So pretty good for what I needed.

One complaint is the same one I have with all these motorcycle related speakers and phones, ilthey are so high pitched. This one was pretty good, though. I thought it sounded pretty average everywhere, as opposed to mostly high pitch. The plugs themselves are bigger than I would prefer, and can bother me after a while, especially in my shoei rf 1200. All in all, I'd say excellent for the price point!

I use these at work to listen to podcasts and audio books but if your plan is to listen to music, I would not recommend these. The bass is just not there. The battery life is pretty good. I've been using these for several months now and I get 10hrs of listen time at about 70-75% volume no problem.

Purchased off of Amazon, sound quality better then my Corsair headset for my PC. Comfy fit, alot of noise reduction for just the standard ear buds, and good Bluetooth distance.

Nobody can tell these are headphones. they look like regular ear plugs, I bought a little blue tooth adapter for it.

These are awesome. I've bought several cheaper options trying to find something that could work like these but they were all a waste of money. These are so comfortable and sound great and really work as good Earplugs. I was standing right in the middle of a lawn mower, a generator, and an exterior HVAC fan and they were all nothing more then a dull hum smothered by the sounds of whatever music I had on. I then got the chance to use them for the original reason I wanted them to begin with. I do motorcycle track days so I'm out on a road course race track on a motorcycle, usually I just wear Earplugs, but I like listeting to music to get me pumped. Theaw worked like a charm, very easily able to put these in and then get my helmet on over them woth no snagging or pulling etc. It drowns out the motorcycle and the wind noise and shines through the music. 10/10 should have got these a year ago or more and will get them again immediately if these ever break or get lost.

So I’ve been rocking the blue and orange ones of these but the corded ones for years and they’re Amazing . I even have them plugged into a Bluetooth receiver at work so I can pause and play from my pocket💁🏼‍♂️. Needed something with no wire and these are a little bulky but they do have the clip and they also have two battery things that you can let rock on each shoulder . How’s for the sound quality …. I have AirPods and j have nice over the ear headphones and these compete for sure … AirPods have no bass and way to much treble and these are the opposite , you can hear all that bass and hear all the treble beautifully . Now for how long they last we will see…. But the corded version of these for 20$ last me years

Bought for motorcycle use. Its only been a few weeks. But so far they work great. Alot more bass then i expected. My only minor complaint is the wire connecting them together is rather long. The battery is good. They are comfortable. They fit under my full face helmet, without popping out of my ears when i put helmet on. The wind and engine noise are muted like traditional earplugs. The sound is loud and pretty darn good.

They work pretty well, the audio fidelity is reasonable enough, they aren't going to compete with a set of Klipsch S4s etc, but they are acceptable. The noise isolation is pretty solid too, I use the 'tree' ends as they seal better for me. I use these on a motorcycle and they drop enough noise to be useful. They are well clear of the helmet liner as well as they go pretty far into the ear. The one nitpick is that they are hard to grip to remove from my ears and I wind up tugging on the cords at times, which will not end well at some point. Mine are also not labeled L/R which is kind of annoying.

If you're buying these for super great fidelity, you don't understand what you really want here. These are so you can listen to music while you do loud stuff, like riding a motorcycle on the highway. And they work superbly for that. But if you're thinking you'll replace a good quality set of earbuds with these, no. They're a little muddy in the sound quality department. But they do exactly what I want - give me a nice, low-volume music option while protecting my hearing from external noise.

Headphones work great. Much better sound than the older versions. I'm a welder/pipe fitter and unfortunately I have to do a lot of grinding at my current job. Even when using a 7 inch grinder I can still hear the music but get the benefits of the -25 decibels that the plugs provide. The reason for the four star instead of a five star rating is they could have made the plug that connects your device a little more sturdy. The sheath that covers the 90 degree angled plug was not glued the the wire. I think that this might have mad one side fail. This really needs to be addressed. But for now it's the only way I can listen with headphones at work because headphones are not allowed 😉

Had these a couple weeks. Most people looking at these probably work where ear plugs are required and music isn't. This works for that to an extent. They are somewhat incognito and look just like normal ear plugs, but they play music. 1. The downfall it has counter balance battery on each side which often works its way out of under collar of shirt. So u constantly have to tuck it back in. 2. if you look at my pics you can see how small the buttons are in comparison to the usb. Trying to find which is which while wearing is complicated. 3. on top of that its hard to tell the difference in the usb plug cover and the buttons. 4. A little light can be seen next to the buttons. 5. I have medium size ears an these are a large. They fit really snug. when u push them in the air doesnt exactly escape. So u feel alot of air pressure in your ears. So be careful with that. 6. cancel so good that if they off and no background noise u cant hear what anyone is saying if they right in front of u talking. Not sure if thats a pro or con. But when they in and music on it sounds descent. 7. Battery life: I work 10 hr shift which averages out to an 8 hr day with, the morning safety brief, two 20 min breaks, a half hr lunch and clean up to leave. I would say half the time the battery lasted the full shift. I turn them on an sync them after the morning safety brief. So if you sync these to your phone before u go into work an you work 10 or longer... chances are they not going to make it the whole day.

Only plugs I've found that I can wear inside my motorcycle helmet without hurting my ears or spending hundreds for custom plugs.

So I got these a couple weeks ago and wanted to wait to see how they performed before reviewing.(skip to bottom for quick run down) Let me preface anything I say further with the fact I got these with the intention of wearing them to work in a factory/warehouse setting that requires wearing ear protection in an effort to break up the dullness of work. I listen to audio books exclusively while wearing them for 12 hour shifts 7 days a week. Not one person, regardless of how close they've been to me, had said or indicated they realized what I was wearing. I do tuck the mic and other parts that make it obvious into a hat, but after some easy adjustments I can pause and play or adjust volume by just tapping the button through the hat. Pros: I can verify that it doesn't get a solid 12 hours, but I'd guess it's somewhere in the 9-11 hour range which is still great. Sounds can still be heard even through audio being played but they're not a distraction and I find this to be good as it's safer. I will note I don't have it at max volume so it's possible to drown out all sound. Great range, I'd say around 50 feet it starts cutting in and out, but that's without line of sight for me. Feels durable and charges quickly. Cons: Now this is just my personal thing and should really not influence the average person but I'd prefer it didn't have anything for pause or play or a mic. I'd like to see a discreet version that 100% could be passed off as earplugs for people like me working in factories just wanting to improve work life. The foam on one earplug fell apart but I think it's because I was rolling the foam up to better get into my ear. Luckily they send several pairs. I did order more replacements and would like to see more color variations.

When they're fully charged they last me a full 8+ hour shift and still have a little charge to start the next day. They take about 30-40 minutes to fully charge. They stay in my ears well. My only complaint is how long the wire is connecting both ear buds.

For years, I’ve struggled with finding headphones that actually work inside of my full-face motorcycle helmet ... until now. These are without question the only headphones that allow you to hear your music on a bike without having to be so loud that you’re most likely damaging your hearing. Be careful though that you don’t get in the habit of having the volume too loud. Don’t adjust it based on feel. Set a maximum number of bars on your volume setting and don’t go above it. I recommend adjusting the volume before your ride. As these headphones go into the ear, they can also be dangerous to your hearing. I would say that I wear these on my bike sans music as often as with. They still provide much needed decibel reduction from damaging wind roar, and if I get a critical notification on my phone for work, I know to pull over and deal with it. In addition, these are the only headphones I’ve been able to wear while running. Every other pair I’ve ever had fall out after about 50 feet. The only thing is that it is a little weird to lock out the surrounding noise while you run. It can make you feel a bit like you’re under water. Your foot falls and breathing can get a little loud inside your head, if you know what I mean. But they are still the best exercise headphones I’ve ever had. I will say that I have a couple of caveats, hence the 4 stars and not five. First, they are still fairly cheap headphones. My first pair were the executive style and I loved them. But my arm caught the cord once while jogging and pulled the wires right out of the 3.5 mm jack. I’ve read other reviewers say the same thing happened to them. He next pair I tried I found at a local hardware store and they were the orange and blue construction variety. These were completely different quality than the executive. On this pair, every vibration of the cord was sent directly into my ear drum. I hated them and ripped them to pieces in anger in the middle of a run. ? But then I bought another pair of the executive type and all is well again. So, I am $60 in on these cheap earbuds at this point. But obviously the second pair is my own fault. Stick with the executive style and I think you’ll be pleased. Ultimately, these are a niche little product and probably not for everyone. If you care about protecting your hearing though, and you’re comfortable putting earplugs in, these just might be the best headphones you’ve ever owned. Okay, one final thing I’ll say and warning, this is a little gross. But these headphones keep my ears from getting excessive ear wax buildup. Which means, at first, you’re probably going to see a lot of it come out on your ear buds. But over time this gets better and weirdly, using the earbuds is now how I keep my ears clean. So, be prepared for that. I warned you it was going to be gross.

I got this so I can listen to music when I ride, At 80 MPH it cut's out a lot of wind noise and I can hear the music with out turning it up. It's a very basic system but it works well.

Very good

I was sceptic of these headphones when I first purchased them. After using them all day for a few days I feel that it is an okay time to write a review. The headphones work as intended. It is a noise cancelation ear bud combo. Most people looking at these probably work somewhere hearing protection is required/recommended and music isn't. This set of ear phones works for that. They are incognito and look just like normal ear plugs, but they play music. I have walked around the floor with these non stop and nobody batted an eye. So as far as that goes A+. The noise cancelation is more than adequate. I have machines running close to 100 db. I need to hear when it stops but also don't want my ear drums to explode. They get an A for that as well. Won't completely isolate noise but do good. When music is playing at around half way almost all noise is gone. For this reason I usually keep them pretty low, in case someone needs to get my attention or I need to tend to the machine. If I turn the volume all the way up on them I probably wouldn't be able to hear a jackhammer 3 feet from me. With that being said you aren't going to have beats quality as far as the sound. They are equivalent to a 20$ pair of headphones. Not too bad but nothing great, but I wasn't looking for supreme sound when I bought them, I was looking for something that cut down the noise and allowed me to listen to music inconspicuously. If this describes your situation you are in luck. Also I have purchased multiple corded headphones from the same company. I liked the concept and was on my way to write a review about wishing there was a bluetooth option when I found this. Trust me, it is worth the extra 25 dollars to upgrade to these. Final pro to this set of ear buds, they have a counterweight on the other end. I wasn't sure what it was for initially but after wearing them a bit I realized what it was. I have used bluetooth head phones before and the biggest issue is that the mic/charging portion always weighs down the other end. The counterweight prevents this and a great thought on the manufacturer's end. A If these last 3 months they are worth it in my eyes. Anything more is a win.

Works like a charm. Great sound. Use around loud noises.

I picked these up since they came heavily recommended from a biker group on discord. My handlebar speakers finally crapped out on me after a good 7 years, so I was in the position of either buying new speakers or was also looking into in helmet audio options. Now, at the same time, I've noticed a degradation in my overall hearing when it comes to hearing people speak in loud places. It was concerning to me, so the idea of ear plugs for hearing protection also started to hit me. After trying some of the other ear plugs like high fidelity plugs from Etymotic, and 3m foamies, and airpod pros. I thought wow the ear protection from road and wind noise on the motorcycle is great, but I need some tunes back in my ride. I've now had these headphones for about a month of daily commuting and here are my thoughts. Pros: - the foam tips to a really good job at noise reduction. I'd say the claimed 30db is accurate enough if you get them in your ears properly. - tunes are completely audible at a lower end volume up to about 45mph, over that and you can bump it up until you slow down again. I am not commuting on highways at top speeds, so can't comment on that, but they seem to get pretty loud. - the buttons are easily found around the neck while riding. - battery seems good enough, have only charged it once when I opened it. I ride about 3 days a week, about 20-40 minute commutes. - These easily stay in place while wearing either a full face or a half helmet - can easily be worn for ear protection without using the speakers for when you want to eliminate the road noise but don't need music. Cons: - they can get a little uncomfortable after about 30 minutes. - I think the headphone itself could be a little larger. to get these properly seated in the ears, you need to really push them in there, so it doesn't leave much left to grab before your fingers are essentially putting pressure on the wire. I do think this will be the ultimate weak point of these headphones over time, but so far so good. -price isn't bad compared to in helmet audio solutions or handlebar speakers. (if you go helmet audio, remember that you'll probably need to upgrade your helmet as well) - They default to middle/upper volume when you turn them on so if you are not prepared, it might be considered a bit loud. I need to adjust the volume down every time I turn them on. - I'm sure any true audiophile would not find these satisfactory, but for me they sound great. I listen to a wide range of music from heavy metal to drum and bass. I enjoy great sounding audio. So for what these offer at this price point, WITH ear protection, WHILE riding a motorcycle is actually pretty decent IMO. Overall, I'm satisfied, and will see how well they hold up over time.

Need to be updated to 2022 connections

Ok Ive had my pair for almost a year (You purchased this item on April 20, 2018.), still work no damage and Im not gentle with them, I work with heat and welding metal all day long. My only disapproval is is the battery life which states 12, at first it did last up to 15 but over the past years its continuously dropped to around a little less then 8. Also there is this weird noise thats like a cd skipping that happens randomly the only way to clear it is to turn them off and turn them back on and reconnect, on one occasion it wouldnt shut off I have to plug it in to get it to reset but tricking it my charging it for 5 second then start then back up, thats happened once so far. I still have the original ear plugs it came with they have seen better days but over all I use then everyday up to 8 hrs a day and 5 days a week. I cant complain cause they have worked well for me. I keep seeing reviews about they break after a month or even a week, what the hell are you people doing with them? Using them as a rope to swing across caverns. My single complaint is the battery life, and being that its been almost a year Im sure its no longer covered under any warranty

Don't expect these to blow you away with bass in your ear. They look just like the ear plugs factories make you wear. It's just enough to keep that one supervisor that's on a power trip ftom breathing down your neck about ear plugs, hear your tunes and flick em off at the same time

Good little look-alikes! Used these at my workplace to inconspicuously listen to music. I would use these and run the cord down my shirt to a Bluetooth dongle with a clip that I could clip to my pants. I wear longer shirts to make sure the dongle is covered as I work. Used these for several years, only a really close co-worker has found out when they went to mess with my earplugs. My main complaint is that they’re kind of hard to grip by the base when they’re in my ears. It makes me want to pull them out by the cord, which broke my first set. They made my ears a bit sore using them at first, but I got used to them. Went through 6-8 pairs using them 9 hours a day/5 days a week for about 4 years. Pretty good product overall.

I bought a pair of these back in 2016 or 2017 and loved them. I drive a forklift in a factory and the little paper that comes with them rate them for 26 Decibels. OSHA fined my company for a noise violation in 2018 and we were required to build sound proof (resistant) walls around certain machinary to knock the noise pollution down and we were required to were earbuds AND ear muffs as well until the walls were produced. I only ever wore these headphones and I couldn't ear much of anything. They for sure work well. The audio quality that comes through is clear and great quality. As far as the durability goes, I get them caught on the forklift straps and controls fairly often and get them ripped out of my ears and I just ordered a second pair of these a few days ago. They last for ever. Mine finally gave out after a little over 3 years right around where you plug it into the phone jack. More than likely where I sit on that portion of the wire and rub it constantly where im getting on and off the truck during 12 hour shifts. I 100% recommend these for anyone who wants a set of noise cancelling headphones. No need to buy $300 head phones to cancel out noise when these work amazing.

Good protection and They will never tell the difference 🙂

this is my second plugfones - i use them during the night as i listen to books or watch movies, i have also used when doing yard work. My first set lasted about 8 years

Great noise cancellation performance on these plugs and great sound quality as well.

I have been using disposable earplugs and wanted to listen to music on my motorcycle. These cancel the engine and wind noise better than my old earplugs. Between songs, it's strangely silent. With music playing, all I hear is the music and it's like I'm floating down the road. Literally no other noise can be heard. I think it's excellent, and I really love these! I think you have to make sure you're using your eyes and being attentive, because you really won't hear anything with them on. **UPDATE** After 3 days, one of the plugs stopped working. I still use it as an earplug and only get music from the one working plug. The one that works it still going after a month of daily use. I got a different motorcycle, an sv1000 with dual yoshi exhaust, it's much louder and these don't block it out but they help. **NOTE** I also learned that it is illegal to be driving with these in your ears in my state. All forms of headphones are illegal while driving. So I've been enjoying the fact that one of the plugs is broken, so that I can still hear what's happening in one ear. It's probably safer, but still just as illegal.

sound is not great but it works okay. ear plugs are very bulky too.. hard to fit in ear canal

Havent had these very long but they work well. I am impressed with the noise cancelling mic. Callers never have a problem hearing me in very loud environments. The only two things that could be improved on is battery life- from my experience the battery will last about 6-8 hours and the storage case they come in could be a little larger. Sometimes it's tough to fit everything back in.

I am a GEneral Contractor and need the ability to have hands free conversations and block out job site noise. These do a great job. This is my 2nd set first one lasted about a year of everyday use which is better than most bluetooth devices in a harsh environment.

I feel for the price they wear out fast I’m in my 4th pair

Used at work. Held up good for 3 months Under constant abuse.
